He Ain't Heavy, He's My "Sister"!

Phase 2 of the pipeline is well underway, and National Grid's heavy lorries are harassing the small villages of the Amman and Tywi valleys, causing much danger and distress to the local population.

And in the time-honoured spirit of an area renowned for the "Hosts of Rebecca", local Llandybie town councillor "Rebecca" Bowen took matters into his own hands last Friday.

For those of you who don't know "Plaid" councillor Bowen, he was campaign manager for a candidate who stood for campaign group Stand Your Ground in the recent Assembly elections, a group who have declared a "United War on White Collar Fraud, Corruption & Skullduggery".

Frustrated at being unable to obtain a copy of the local Traffic Management Plan from the local council, and suspecting Skullduggery was at play, Councillor Bowen laid under a heavy lorry in protest.

Two hours of this protest ended when Councillor Bowen was allowed to view the plan at the constructor's offices. Nevertheless, he was cautioned by the police.

You may think he was cautioned by the Fashion Police, but nay, it was Dyfed Powys Police. He was then free - to continue on his merry way!
